First, thanks for sharing @rachelsoderberg ;)

Just came down here to write the same, I consider commits as the good old video game checkpoints.

Every time you hit a "safe place" where you would like to go back in case of something goes wrong, add a commit with a very descriptive message.

Your "future myself" (and code reviewers) will thank you a lot.
